I've only taken intermediate classes, so I can't speak for more basic or more advanced instruction. My one gripe is that the Ballet School does not allow regular walk-ins. They will let you try out your first class for free, but from then on, they require dancers to purchase a minimum of 9 classes. I assume this is to encourage retention, but really, the policy discourages me from attending class at all just because I can't commit to one class per week. Bummer.

I can highly recommend this dance studio - our experience has been great - for tap, jazz and modern…read moredance instruction, AND the musical theater camps that are held in the summer. (They are now offering musical theater jazz during the school year). Both of my kids (ages 9 and 7) dance at BSCH. If your kid loves tap dance, this is where you go in the Triangle area to learn how to tap. We drive 30 minutes from Durham to get here. The instructors for the most part have all been students of Gene Medler, the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble (tap company) meets here, and the NC Rhythm Tap Festival is held at the dance studio every year. The studio has one room dedicated to tap dance and it is flooded with light! As far as jazz and modern instruction goes- t he teachers are very gifted instructors and while the classes are "fun" I know that my kids are learning technical skills that translate over to other dance forms (like tap). The recitals are held on Memorial Day weekend but are split between two days so parents aren't "stuck" in a very, very long performance (which was my first experience as a dance mom - lol - at a different studio). I appreciate that recitals are tasteful and choreography is truly moving (last year's advanced modern, jazz and tap performances were very artistic versus "showy"). Additionally, more advanced dancers are involved in the choreography of their end of year recital which I imagine is very meaningful to those dancers. The location of the studio is great. I often times drop my kids off and run errands or sit at a cafe or take a yoga class or go rock climbing. Additionally, while I've never needed to use it, the studio has a small playground in the back of the building. As a parent that is new to dance (in other words, I did not dance as a kid or ever as an adult) there are a lot of questions I don't even know I'm supposed to be asking, but my experience is that the studio's administrator is very good at her job. I get all the emails I need in order to know how to maneuver my family through the dance options, payment schedules, recitals, etc. Also, at the end of every year, dancers get a sort of "report card" with praise and future dance style and level recommendations. My older kid really loved reading how much her teachers enjoyed having her in class!

Despite his admirable and well-intentioned outlook, I couldn't wait to dance, swing, and work my way around that pole! I originally learned about Vertical Tease Durham on Groupon, my curiosity roused I went to their website and decided to try the Intro to Pole but with the Pay as you go Rate for $10 a session in the 11AM Saturday morning slot. I don't know how strippers do it - working that pole is hard work, and not to mention super fun! Clad in yoga pants, my friend and I giggled like two mischievous school girls, I think there was even a "weeee" squeal after our first Firemans swing. Besides being a ton of fun, this pole dancing class was a pretty good workout as told by my sore delts, lats, and obliques the next day. I can't wait to work that pole again! I'm going to rent out the studio for a private party for one of my girlfriends birthday! Weeeee! Sorry Chris Rock. PS - Vertical Tease is a little hard to find, GPS took us over by Chapel Hill so we ended up calling and getting directions from the receptionist. There's a service road and it's upstairs.

Having now been to two classes, I can say that pole dancing is definitely their forte. Kendra, the manager (and possibly owner), is fun and enthusiastic. Her constant encouragement was helpful for newbies like myself. "It doesn't matter how hard you fall as long as you get up sexy," may be my new motto. The instruction was great, and the workout was pretty good too (although I may be investing in kneepads). Five dollar Fridays rotate the style of lesson, giving you a chance to try some new things without spending a lot of money. After such a great lesson with Kendra, however, I was disappointed by the belly dancing class I took. The instructor seemed inexperienced, saying things like, "do the... what's it called..." and "let me see if I remember the next step." I've had better workouts practicing on my own, and since I didn't get a lot of feedback from the instructor on my technique, I'm inclined to keep it that way. Over all, I encourage everyone to check out the pole dancing classes, but if you're interested in another style of work out, maybe look somewhere else. PS. Give yourself plenty of time to get there; it's hard to find (on a frontage road to 15-501 and over Pomegranate Kitchen).
